Elsevier helps researchers as they face an information overload and a tough battle to get published

Every year, 7 million researchers write 3 million articles

Each article takes at least 3 months to reach publication and has an average of 4 authors (or more) and will have been edited at least 10 times.

Even then it faces a 50% chance of rejection!

Fast facts:

• The average researcher is reading 300+ articles per year*

• Researchers can spend up to 31% of their time on content-related activities**

• US researchers can spend up to 3 months applying for grants (with little success)***
